The Great Seal of the State of Utah - 1962
The Great Seal of the State of Utah was created as an official bronze wall plaque to be located in the Governor’s office in the State of Utah. It was a combination effort by Grant R. Fairbanks, M.D. and his elder brother, Justin Fairbanks. Although the design had been already established, it needed to be sculptured in a low-relief with all the appropriate lettering and dates. The escutcheon, or shield, with the beehive was created by Justin, and the Eagle astride the escutcheon holding arrows in its talons was created by Grant R. Fairbanks, M.D.
The full-size reproduction measures 36” in diameter. Reproductions of the Great Seal of the State of Utah cast in bronze can be made are available for purchase.
